A good time?

What does having a good time mean?
Among my peers it seems that by having a good time you have to be getting into mischief. Stirring up trouble where ever trouble can be stirred. Why is it that getting into "trouble" is what makes something fun or enjoyable? Why isn't virtue "fun" anymore. When someone is considered prudent or virtuous in anyway they are automatically a "party pooper"! The things which are good, true, and beautiful are no longer worth aspiring to. "They are not exciting enough," one might say. We value the antagonist more than the protagonist!

Yet we fail to realize that by valuing evil, we are missing out on the long lasting joy of searching out the good, the true, and the beautiful. Because virtue is not instantly gratifing or "funny" we dismiss it.
The sad part about this is, because something is "funny" it is instantly justified. Making a crude joke isn't bad unless it is not "funny". When in actuality, the crude joke is just as bad even if everybody does laugh at it (or at you for that matter). Where is the line drawn?

I have a hard time enjoying the company of my peers because of this. How do I make them see that virtue is "fun". Anytime I try to bring up something related to this subject it is immediately rejected due to the fact that it is either, "to serious," or "who cares?"

How does one make others see? It is the question. Many great thinkers have pondered this question and if they did not come up with a definite answer then I certainly won't within the next five minutes!! However, it definately deserves some of my time. Paul said, "Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things."
